I got paid for this? Seriously??

Last year I was contacted by Chris McNeil, the Wyoming State OVH Safety and education guru. He wanted to take me and my equipment into the mountains with as many snowmobile clubs as he could find, to start the process of making a state wide club recruitment video. He wanted it directed toward youth for the purpose of encouraging safety, proper riding, avalanche training, scholarships, safety, and safety.

Gee, let me think about it-YEP! I'M IN!

We hooked up with two groups of fantastic people. Rocky Treese (member of the Wyoming State Snowmobile Association board of directors) and the "Riverton Sno-goers" club took us to the Brooks Lake area. No words necessary if you've been there, and no words could do it justice. Let's just say it wasn't Rawlins.

The second group that we went out with (the very next weekend) was the "Pinedale Snow Explorers" Club. We spent two days going places you just couldn't go without a brilliant and experienced group of people, and not to mention extremely powerful machines.

This happened very late in the season, so all we were able to capture was three days of footage, and one of the days was so foggy and snowy that filming was pointless. I also had to spend some time actually learning how to ride these things without getting stuck all the time! Two days of filming wasn't enough to make the kind of video they wanted (yet), but...

I put this short little video together to say thank you, promote the Pinedale Snow Explorers, and help pump us up for this season!!
